Touching the Breeze: Sue Goyette’s Ocean “Objects are the way things appear to a subject – that is with a name, an identity, a gestalt or a stereotypical template. … Things, on the other hand, … [signal] the moment when the Object becomes the Other, when the sardine can look back, when the mute idol speaks, when the subject experiences the object as uncanny and feels the need for what Foucault calls ‘a metaphysics of the object, or, more exactly, a metaphysics of that never objectifiable depth from which objects rise up to our superficial knowledge.’” (W. J. T. Mitchel in Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter (2010), 2)…
No demographic information was asked of them. The experiment was done through computers that were connected to keyboards. The participants were given the URL of a website, where they would be asked to download and install a program (Inquisit). Upon launching the program the participants were asked for the last 5 digits of their student ID number.…
We are so close to our goal that it’s hard for many people to step back from this. During the Asian Disease Problem framing of perspective changes people answer entirely because of the emotional value of the loss of life. During the 2-4-6 task, we perform confirmation biases because we are being rewarded for positive behavior in turn losing perspective on the situation as a whole. Finally showing people penny’s tossed within two distinct patterns, one random and the other with an order effect, people say the random order must be more likely. Here we seek to reduce our cognitive dissonance because of our belief in the randomness of nature.…
Inspired by the horrific acts committed by thousands of seemingly “normal” individuals during the Holocaust, Stanley Milgram set out to discover the causes and triggers of unquestioning obedience. He inquired why so many people from uneventful backgrounds followed orders from the most tyrannical and prejudice leader ever facing this world. Basing his theory from that of a grade school friend and famous situationist—Philip Zimbardo—Milgram began to explore the possibility of a situation to force a person to act in opposition of their deepest values and morals. His curiosity resulted in the perpetually debated Milgram Obedience Experiments.…
Obedience to Authority Experiment In 1963 at Yale University, Stanley Milgram held an experiment to test the relationship between obedience to authority and the personal conscience. Stanley Milgram’s obedience experiment was one of the many experiments that caused the gathering of the APA, because of its lack of ethics and an analysis of the experiment provides information that could justify for the genocide acts of World War II. The experiment included 40 male participants who drew straws which determined whether they were the learner or the experimenter. Only this was rigged so that the participant was always the experimenter instead of it being random and thinking they had a choice. They were also introduced to Milgram who was head of this experiment.…
At the beginning her inquiry, the researcher’s students wrote journal entries of varying lengths, which gave students who wrote the most the opportunity for a much higher or lower score than their classmates who only wrote a few sentences. The researcher set a minimum of three sentences to combat this issue, which also caused students who wrote longer responses to shorten them. Unfortunately, a few students still wrote extremely short responses. The long and extremely short journal responses at the beginning of the research and the equipoised responses at the end likely account for the severe statistical significance of the research.…
In the beginning of the experiment, there were 18 participants. The participants were college students at the College of Wooster. The 18 participants were also enrolled in a 300 level Psychology course, Learning and Behaviour, where this experiment took place. One participant’s results were thrown out because she joined the experimenter in the third and final trial. At the end of all three trails, only 17 participant’s results were collected.…
It consisted of a group of six to eight people who were in on the experiment and one college student. They were asked to answer simple questions where the participants were told to call out the wrong answer and wait for the college student to answer last. He believed that due to the answer being so obvious, the college students would not conform to the group with the incorrect answer. In the end, Asch came to discover that a majority of the college students agreed with the wrong answer. More recently, scientists discovered that the participants were not just trying to fit in.…

“They recreated the original ad [of the prison experiment], and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism” (Konnikova). The subjects responded to a certain wording, and this wording showed that the subjects were not as “normal” as Zimbardo claimed.…
Standardized “... tests have tended to lean heavily on easily scorable multiple-choice questions that stress memory rather than understanding” (Jehlen, 1). So, when a child or teen takes these tests it does not matter if they understand what they’re doing, just as long as they got the right answer. This is completely unacceptable, they need to be tested over their understanding of a…
In order to conduct our experiment, our group used a site called “Poll Everywhere.” Poll Everywhere is an application for audience participation. In a classroom setting, it is an easy way to gather live responses. Teachers have the ability to display questions on a two-way screen. Once students put their answers in on the device they are using, the polls update seconds after, and the results can be displayed on the presenting screen.…
The purpose of this essay was to find an example of an inter-functional blue ocean business model. After having made all the researches, I first understood what social differentiation is. When talking about a social differentiation, the separation between persons on their sociocultural factors is what we mainly think about. These factors are the values and customs that define a community of people. Social classes, religion, economic status are parts of these factors that can directly or indirectly alter businesses and the quality of life.…
